Cagliari, Venezia and Sassuolo want to know Malagò and Galliani's priorities

Three Serie A clubs seek to hear both candidates' plans before deciding who to back in the 14 December FIGC presidential election.

Cagliari, Sassuolo and Venezia have issued a joint statement ahead of the Italian Football Federation's presidential election on 14 December, in which incumbent commissioner Giovanni Malagò will face challenger Adriano Galliani.

The three clubs said they have not yet endorsed either candidate and want to examine both programmes in detail before committing their support. They expressed respect for both Malagò and Galliani as experienced figures, but said they need to understand the priorities, proposed reforms and implementation methods of each candidate's platform.

The clubs invited both candidates to open dialogue, stating they are ready for constructive discussion with each in the interest of Italian football as a whole.
